Synopsis

A dark, cynical thriller set in urban Britain. When Charlie moves into his new flat, he meets a colorful array of new characters, including a dominatrix and a skinhead yabo, witnesses a murder, and finds himself on the run from assassins and fixers sent by the highest levels of government. Shades of Howard Chaykin's Black Kiss and the hardboiled style of 100 Bullets, all with a very British (as in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels British) accent.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Richard Corben was born on a farm in Anderson, Missouri, and went on to get a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Kansas City Art Institute, in 1965.After working as a professional animator, Corben started doing underground comics, including Grim Wit, Slow Death, Skull, Rowlf, Fever Dreams and his own anthology Fantagor. In 1970 he began illustrating horror and science-fiction stories for Warren Publishing. His stories appeared in Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella, 1984 and Comix International. He also colored several episodes of Will Eisner's Spirit. In 1975, when Moebius, Druillet, and Jean-Pierre Dionnet started publishing the magazine Métal Hurlant in France, Corben submitted some of his stories to them. He continued his work for the franchise in America, where the magazine was called Heavy Metal. In 1976 he adapted a short Robert E. Howard story in Bloodstar. In 2012 he was elected to the The Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame. The author lives in Shawnee, KS.

Revue de presse :

"Managing to skilfully blend Native American folklore with twisted Lovecraftian horror, Rat God immediately sinks its teeth into the reader early before gradually dragging them down into the murky, unnerving word that Richard Corben has created. Dark Horse have long since established their reputation as the go-to publisher for bold, imaginative horror, and titles like this only serve to reinforce that fact. Highly recommended, but only if you're willing to take on something a little bit different from the usual horror fare." --Big Comic Page
